Modial de l'Automobile - Paris Auto Show 2006

Paris International Auto Show 2006.

Paris, October 15 2006 - We sent European Car's editors to the biggest auto show in the Western World. Paris boasts over 500 brands from over 30 countries exhibiting for the over 1.4 million visitors and 11 thousand journalists that descend on the show.

The following photo galleries barely scratch the surface of what could be seen at the show, but our guys weeded through it all to bring you the most interesting. Look for a story in an upcoming issue of European Car Magazine, and features on some of the more interesting cars at the show.

HKS Premium Day is one of those events in the world that you absolutely must add to your Calendar. There is no other time or place in the world where you will find the very best built cars in Japan in one place at one time!

Over the course of three days, Jofel and I took our supercharged, widebody, ex-SEMA show car Scion FR-S on a 1125-mile road trip. A first for Targa Trophy, this MegaRun journey would take us across three states.

Few recent releases have had such an impact on the tuner industry as the Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ. One could argue this fun RWD platform saved the tuning scene - illustrated at Tokyo Auto Salon the past few years.
